Our Mission
To provide safe, transparent, and legal access to cannabis social clubs in Madrid. We verify every club, approve every invitation, and ensure our community enjoys cannabis responsibly within Spanish law. Weed Madrid is a free, independent service dedicated to combating tourist scams and promoting verifiable, factual information about cannabis access in Spain.
Our Story
Weed Madrid was founded in 2023 by a team of Madrid residents passionate about safe cannabis access and tourism. We started as a response to the prevalence of tourist scams and unsafe street purchases in Madrid's cannabis market. Too many visitors were falling victim to fake dealers, overpriced products, and dangerous encounters. We created Weed Madrid to bridge this gap—a platform where tourists and residents could access verified, legitimate cannabis clubs with confidence.
Since launch, we've helped over 10,000 tourists and residents safely access cannabis across 10 neighborhoods. Our verification process has become the gold standard for cannabis club legitimacy in Madrid.

How We Verify Clubs
Our multi-step verification process ensures legitimacy and safety
Every club on Weed Madrid undergoes rigorous verification before listing. We don't rely on reviews or hearsay—our team conducts hands-on inspections and ongoing monitoring.
Legal Compliance Check — We verify licenses, registration status, and compliance with Spanish cannabis club regulations. Clubs must operate as registered non-profit associations.
On-Site Visit — Our team visits each club in person, evaluates the physical space, meets staff, and assesses cleanliness and safety standards.
Safety & Quality Assessment — We check product quality, potency information, storage conditions, and whether clubs maintain professional, responsible sales practices.
Tourist Accessibility Audit — We verify English-speaking staff, tourist-friendly policies, membership clarity, and overall welcoming atmosphere.
Clubs are re-verified quarterly to ensure standards remain consistent. We remove any club that fails to maintain these criteria.
